Volume 8 Xuzhou Inspector's History 142 Pan Wengui's Crossing of Huaike City in Guanyun, Jiaba County (9) Author: Zhao Ziyue Update time: 2015-09-26 12:20:02 Word count: 3095 At the second moment of the application, Liu Deng's commanding department launched the song A tentative attack on Huailing.

The soldiers in the field field set up a nest car for reconnaissance of the virtual and real in the city. Liu Deng, Pan Zhang and other officers in charge of commanding came on board one after another, looking down at the county. Along with them were the messengers. The messengers used flags of different colors to convey orders to the Jin and Drummers who were standing around the hive.

The Shieldmen introduced the moat bridge used to cross the moat. Along with the moat bridge were the rushing vehicles used to hit the city gates, the ladders used to climb the city walls, and the hitchhiking vehicles used to kill, injure and drive away the defending enemies. Several kinds of equipment are used for close combat, and they are not used at the moment, so they are located in the back, in front of the armored soldiers who shoulder the task of crossing the river and climbing the city.

Ranked at the forefront of the ordnance formations such as the trench bridge, and also at the forefront of the entire offensive position, are the ballistas and the stone chariots.

The crossbowmen and sappers have been led by the team, and they have each arrived in front of the ballista and the stone chariot that Bentun is responsible for.

Liu Deng's team is a pioneer, a pioneer, and the first to be sharp. If it is sharp, then it is not his responsibility to attack the fortress. Therefore, for the sake of the speed of the march, his team has not many siege equipment, such as ballistas, There are only a dozen or so chariots in total.

Although there are only more than ten vehicles, these two kinds of long-range attack weapons are very large, and Huailing County is not a big city. More than a dozen vehicles are arranged side by side with a certain gap, but they are almost one-third of the east city wall of Huailing County. length of one. Looking at these ferocious weapons of war, and then looking at the long crossbows and stones piled up near these weapons of war, the guards who want to come to the county must feel deeply pressured at this time.

The nest car is very high, a section higher than the city wall, standing on the roof, enough to overlook the county.

Pan Zhang leaned over to take a closer look, and saw clearly the layout of the county and the deployment of the guards on the city wall.

He said: "The military newspaper is right, there are a lot of guards in Huailing County, there must be more than a thousand people. Looking at their banners, although they are one, but the source of the soldiers is different, there should be soldiers from Xiapi County. , there are also state soldiers from Xuzhou, and some officials and soldiers from Huailing.”

Liu Deng had already seen clearly the county center and the city walls.

The streets in the county are now deserted. From a height, it looks like an empty city, with only occasional officials and soldiers rushing past. Needless to say, the people in the county are all hiding at home.

On the city wall and on the lower side of the inner side of the city wall, in addition to the soldiers who were preparing for battle, there were also many civilians. These civilians must be county residents of this county, and they should have been organized by the county magistrate of Huailing County or Wu Xiaowei, the general. It is used to support and assist frontline operations.

As for the guards, as Pan Zhang said, they had different banners, and they were obviously composed of Xuzhou soldiers, Xiapi soldiers, and Huailing officials and soldiers.

Probably because the east city wall is facing the direction of Guangling County, and Liu Deng's army is also in the offensive battle formation outside the east city wall. Judging from its banner, the guards on the east city wall should be all Xuzhou. In contrast, the soldiers of Xiapi County, which are not as elite as Xuzhou soldiers, are mostly concentrated in the north city wall, while the south city wall and the west city wall, because one is not far from the big lake, it is not good for the attacking side to line up troops, while the other It is the farthest from the direction of Guangling, and it is also not suitable for the Guangling soldiers to choose as the main position to attack. Therefore, the guards on the two columns of the city wall are not as elite and single as the guards on the east wall and the north wall. A small number of Xuzhou soldiers, a part of Xiapi County soldiers, and Huailing officials and soldiers were mixed together.

The guards on the south city wall are neither elites, but also a mix of them. Usually, they are fine. Once there is an emergency when there is an emergency situation of "people responding in the middle of the night", there will inevitably be cooperation between the soldiers of Xuzhou, Xiapi and Huailing officials. And the chaos in the order, and once there is chaos, it is conceivable that taking the opportunity to take the city will be very difficult.

After seeing the specific deployment of the defenders, Liu Deng and Pan Zhang were a little more confident about taking the city tonight, on the basis of their already strong confidence.

Liu Deng looked at the county and the city wall, and issued a military order: "Drum, attack."

The messenger passed the order, and the drummers around the nest car waved their drumsticks and struck out a vigorous and passionate attack order.

At that time in the afternoon, there was no wind, the sun was warm, the distant river was like a belt, the mountains and lakes nearby were silent, and the sound of drums sounded a few miles away, which alerted the resting birds in the fields along the road, and the birds flew everywhere. Maybe they felt it. The depressing air, perhaps because they had a hunch about the **** scene that would appear, fled into the distance in groups.

Chen Ji, who was resting on the side of the infantry formation with the knights of this song, heard the sound of birds, looked back and saw a flock of birds flying in all directions under the cloudless blue sky. Two or three birds may have been too frightened and could not tell the direction, but they flew towards the Guangling soldiers' formation in a foolish way.

The shot bird fell to the ground.

There was a loud "bang", and he couldn't pay attention to the loot that fell. Chen turned around and looked in front of the military formation, but the stone trolley had already been ordered to start, and a stone was thrown and hit Huailing. The east wall of the county.

The Xuzhou soldiers guarding the top of the city were also beaten by the Yellow Turbans in the past, but there was no commotion about it. Following Commander Wu's order, they held up their hides high and blocked the crenels of the city wall.

As the drums under the nest car became more and more urgent, the ballistas and the stone trolleys in front of the Guangling army were launched continuously and rapidly, and the arrows and stones gradually rained. Some fell, some hit the city wall, and some They crossed the city head and hit the cowhide, and some flew over the cowhide's defense range, shooting down or rolling on the city head and the inner side of the city wall. As they fell, the screams of the guards sounded one after another.

There were also ballistas on the top of the city, and Colonel Wu directed the crossbowmen to launch a counterattack.

There were shieldmen in front of the Guangling soldiers. At this time, they raised their shields and protected them in front of their crossbowmen and sappers to defend them against enemy arrows.

Liu Deng was very dissatisfied with the scene he saw, sighed, and said, "If Ji Xia is here, how can the thief have the power to fight back?"

Ji Xia is Jiang Hu's word.

In this attack on Xiapi, among the school captains who followed Xu Zhong and Le Jin to fight, Liu Deng was the most ferocious, and he was known as the Champion of the Three Armies, but what he and his minions were best at was field battles. When counting Jianghu and his subordinates.

There were many officers and soldiers under Xunzhen's account, who were brothers or brothers, fathers and sons, uncles and nephews, or both. Uncle and nephew Ru Wenzhi and his nephew Wen Pin, the most famous brothers are not the Xun family members, there are four pairs, Xu Zhong and Xu Ji are a pair, Jiang Qin and Jiang Hu are a pair, Gao Jia and Gao Bing are a pair. They are a pair, Su Ze and Su are exactly a pair, these four pairs of brothers are Xun Zhen's old Yingyin, and now in Xun Zhen's army, except for Xu Ji, who is kept by Xun Zhen's side, and the text is useful, the other seven. Everyone is in the army, and they all use martial arts, and they have already become the backbone of Xun Zhen's army.

Among the four pairs of brothers and clan brothers including Xu Zhong, Xu Zhong and Xu Ji were the most trusted and loved by Xunzhen, followed by Jiang Qin and Jiang Hu. Although Jiang Qin was transferred to take charge of the land , but that's also because Xun Zhen took care of him and didn't want to see him get frustrated in the future because of his character, and in any case, Jiang Qin was one of the first group of captains, and Jiang Hu was also killed by Xun Zhen in the past. The table is for the school captain, and the number is "Jiangong". Brothers and two captains, in Xun Zhen's army, they are currently the only one.

And the reason why Jiang Hu was able to get Xun Zhen's credit and be appointed as a school captain by Xun Zhen was not only because he was an old man of Ying Yin, but also because he fought bravely in battle, was not afraid of death, and liked to bite hard bones. In the previous battles, although Jiang Hu was not as conspicuous as Liu Deng and Xin Ai, he was in the forefront of Xun Zhen's army in terms of military exploits, and was remembered by many enemy troops for his aggressive style Lived by his name, his eyes were small, so he was called "Slim-eyed Er" among some enemy troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~Slim-eyed" means his eyes are small, and "er" is insulting The name of scolding, and thus the name of scolding, is also enough to show the degree of fear and hatred that the enemy troops have towards him.

When it comes to field battles, Jiang Hu is definitely not as good as Liu Deng, but when it comes to tackling fortifications, even Liu Deng has to admire Jiang Hu.

Pan Zhang and Jiang Hu were not familiar with each other. Although he had heard of Jiang Hu's achievements, his feelings were not as deep as Liu Deng's. The progress of the city, seeing twilight approaching, then said to Liu Deng: "Lieutenant, it will be late, I will go down and prepare to take the city tonight."

"Whether you can conquer Huailing quickly, I will do it tonight. Sima strives hard!"

After so many years of battles and battles, he not only has sufficient practical combat experience, but also receives frequent orders from Xun Zhen, and has learned enough books on the art of war. In terms of behavior, he has quite the demeanor of a commander-in-chief.

Pan Zhang replied respectfully, "No."
